ABA League Regular Season, Round 26, Friday, 10.3.2017:
MEGA LEKS – Karpoš Sokoli 82:69 (15:20, 25:22, 22:18, 20:9)
Game recap: Mega Leks have finished their ABA League season just the way they wanted to – with a victory in front of home fans in Pinki Hall Sremska Mitrovica. After cracking Karpoš Sokoli late in the game and achieving a rather unrealistic comfortable win given the flow of the game, they have celebrated for the fifth time in the last six games and will have 11 on their record at the end of the season. On the other side, Karpoš sokoli will end the season with only one win on the road this season in the ABA League and 10 overall. However, they can only be proud on themselves for everything they have achieved this season and that's what also their head coach has told them during the last time out.
Key moments: There have been several ups and downs for both sides during the game and midway through the 3rd quarter it looked like Karpoš Sokoli have its flow under control, as they were up by seven points (60:53) in 27th minute. However, that’s when the seven minutes long 16:0 run by the home side began and the game went Mega Leks’ way.
Man of the match: Rade Zagorac put on another excellent performance for his Mega Leks. He only missed one rebound to score a double double (19 points, 9 rebounds), while adding 3 assists and just as many steals to his statistics. His valuation was a game high of 24 and he is our man of the match.
Can't trick the stats: Mega Leks were simply dominant in the paint and this is what decided the outcome of the game in their favour. They have outrebounded the guests with 46:33 and this was decisive this time.
